Receivers: Your ticket to sensational sound

Your receiver powers your speakers and lets you connect and select your entertainment sources. But a great receiver does a lot more  it ignites your emotions. From the passion of a favorite musical artist, to the crossfire of a super-charged movie soundtrack, to the intensity and immersion of a fast-paced video game, your receiver is the key to experiencing and enjoying it in full.

WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology): WRAT is based around
a low negative-feedback circuit topology that works to reduce signal noise and
distortion across the frequency range. A "closed ground-loop circuit" design is
employed, in which each circuit has a separate link to the power supply. This
helps to cancel individual circuit noise and keep the ground potential free of
distortion. High Instantaneous Current Capability (HICC) enables WRAT amplifiers
to immediately cancel the speakers' reflex energy and instantaneously send out
the next signal. The same high current better manages speaker impedance
fluctuations, which can negatively affect performance.

H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply): Under the
anti-resonant cover of any Onkyo receiver, you'll instantly notice the High
Current Power Supply (H.C.P.S.) transformer. With its huge, isolated power
supply design and high-capacity filter capacitors, it delivers the large amounts
of power necessary for reproducing the wide dynamics of movie soundtracks and
the detail and clarity of your music.

Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry: Optimum Gain Volume
Circuitry adjusts the
gain so that less than half the amount of attenuation is needed, ensuring the
signal never comes close to the noise floor. This protects the signal against
noise, resulting in a dramatically clearer sound.

Amplifier Assignment: The 7-channel amplifier can be
configured in three ways to match your type of speaker setup.

Normal (7.2ch): The Onkyo TX-NR727 provides 7.2ch
surround in your main listening area.
You can choose either Surround Back or Front Height speakers (but not both).

Front Bi-Amp (5.2ch): The Surround-Back/Front-High
speaker terminals can be reassigned and used along with the Front terminals
to bi-amp the front speakers, providing improved bass & treble performance.
When bi-amping the front speakers the receiver is limited to a 5.2ch speaker
system in the main room (no Surround Back or Front Height speakers)

Powered Zone 2 (7.2ch + Zone 2): In this configuration,
you can connect Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back (or Front Height),
and Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver. When Zone 2 is off, all seven
channels will be used in the Main Zone. However, when Zone 2 is on, power to
the two surround back (or front height) channels will be directed to the two
speakers in Zone 2 and the Main Zone will receive only five channels of
power.

Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be
selected if your audio source is connected to the AV receiver via a digital
audio connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial). To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the receiver must be connected to your Blu-ray player via HDMI.

THX Select 2 Plus Certified: The TX-NR727 AV receiver is
THX Select 2 Plus certified. Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent
standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters
just as the director intended. From early design concepts to product rollout,
THX works with its manufacturing partners at each step of product development.
Every detail is meticulously mapped to the THX performance standards. And THX
engineers spend countless hours testing and analyzing each product for sound
quality, usability and interoperability. The result of this collaborative
process is a THX Certified receiver, amplifier or pre-amplifier designed from
the ground-up to present your favorite movies, music, and games in 5.1ch to
7.1ch surround sound loud and clear at studio reference volumes. THX Select 2
Plus is specified for rooms where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is 10-12
feet and the room volume is 3,000 cubic feet or greater.

THX Loudness Plus: THX Loudness Plus compensates for
the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by
intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency
response. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can experience the
rich details in a surround mix at any volume level.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes: Onkyo's Original DSP Modes,
combined with Dolby Digital/DTS/Dolby Pro Logic processing, produce more
realistic, powerful sound effects for your movie and music sound tracks based on
the type of content and your home theater setup. You can choose from the
following:

All Ch Stereo: Stereo sound from all speakers. Ideal
for background music.

Full Mono: All speakers output the same sound in mono.

Theater-Dimensional (T-D): Theater-Dimensional
circuitry takes the complexity out of conventional surround-sound setups and
lets you experience the excitement of surround sound from as few as two
ordinary speakers. Theater-Dimensional's unique multi-speaker modes let you
place up to five speakers conveniently by the TV, for the most realistic
virtual-surround sound possible.

Audyssey MultEQ Automatic Speaker Setup: With the
supplied speaker setup microphone, Audyssey MultEQ determines the number of
speakers connected, their optimum crossover frequencies, and their distances
from the primary listening position, then adjusts each automatically. The
room's acoustical properties are then measured and corrected over the
listening area in both the frequency and time domain. There is a threaded
insert on the bottom of the microphone so it can be mounted on a tripod for
accurate listening position placement. Up to 6 listening position
measurements are taken to optimize the surround effect for a broad area. If
you prefer you can also setup your speaker system manually.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ: Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the
problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into
account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the best
possible frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment as volume
is changed. The result is bass response, tonal balance and surround
impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Audyssey Dynamic
EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound
levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction
solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey 2EQ to provide
well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume: Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves
the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs,
commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic
Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by t he user and then monitors
how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real
time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic
Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the
desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey
Dynamic EQ is integrated in Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is
adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround
impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies,
flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround
sound content.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music Settings: While listening in
the Dolby Pro Logic II Music format, there are three further enhancements
you can adjust; Panorama: (broadens the front stereo image to the surround
speakers to provide a wraparound effect), Dimension (allows you to move the
sound field forward or backward), and Center Width (allows you to adjust the
width of the center channel).

Center Image: In the Neo:6 Music mode, the Center Image
feature adjusts the output of the left and right channels relative to the
center channel, allowing you to make the center channel more or less
dominant as needed. This improves the image of the center channel,
especially when the listener is off-center. Adjustment varies from 5
(nothing subtracted from the L/R channels) to 0 (L/R channel output is cut
in half).

Pro Logic IIz Height Gain: The Height Gain Control in
Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how much gain is applied
to the front high speakers. There are three settings, "Low", "Mid" and
"High", and the front high speakers are accentuated in that order. While
"Mid" is the default listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height
Gain Control to their personal preference.

Listening Angle: While listening in the Theater
Dimensional mode you can adjust the listening angle to either Wide (if
listening angle is 40°) or Narrow (if listening angle is 20°).

CinemaFilter: Using the CinemaFilter you soften overly bright movie
soundtracks. Movie soundtracks are typically mixed for a large theater (relative to your
home theater) with lots of soft seats and thick curtains on the walls. Home theater
settings often lack these high frequency absorbing wall treatments, making the soundtrack
sound too bright. CinemaFilter accounts for this and for many movies sounds more natural
at home.

Music Optimizer: The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound
quality of compressed music files. The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM
digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48kHz and analog input signals.

Late Night Feature: The Late Night feature limits the dynamic
range of Dolby Digital recordings. Limiting the dynamic range makes it easier to
find a volume that ensures the quiet sounds are not too quiet and the loud sounds
are not too loud for night time listening. This allows you to comfortably listen
to without the need to constantly adjust the volume to keep from waking family/neighbors.
The choices are: Off, Low, and High. This feature only works
with Dolby Digital Encoded software and the depth
of the feature will vary based on the individual
software package.

Bass Management: The Onkyo AV receiver offers Tone Control
and Phase Matching Bass technology to get the most bass impact out of your
system.

Tone Controls: You can independently adjust the Bass (30Hz)
and Treble (20kHz) of the TX-NR727
from -10 to +10 dB.

IntelliVolume: With IntelliVolume, you can set the
input level for each input (+/-12dB) selector individually. This is useful
if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others. This
function does not work in Zone 2.

Maximum Volume: Use this feature to set the receiver's
maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the volume too
loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from 30-79 (max), or Off
(disabled).

Power On Volume: Use this feature to set the volume
level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Last (same as the
volume when the unit was turned off), Min (0), or 1-79.

Headphone Level: With this setting, you can specify the
headphone volume (+/-12dB) relative to the main volume. This is useful if
there's a volume difference between your speakers and your headphones.

Assignable Digital Inputs: The Onkyo receiver is
equipped with one optical digital input and two coaxial digital inputs. All
three digital inputs
are assignable. You can choose auto decoding , PCM, or DTS for the digital audio
inputs. Auto will decode the signal in its original form (Dolby Digital, DTS,
PCM, etc), PCM decodes the signal to 2-channel, while DTS decodes only DTS
formatted sources.

Phono Input: The Onkyo AV receiver is fitted with a Phono input
and ground terminal for connection of a turntable (MM).

Dual Subwoofer Outputs:
The receiver is fitted with two subwoofer
outputs to connect dual powered subs for extra bass.

Headphones: When headphones are plugged into the
full-size 1/4" jack on the front panel, all the main speakers are
automatically muted. However, the Zone 2/3 speakers remain on.

Video Section

HDMI (v1.4): The TX-NR727 has eight HDMI v1.4 inputs (7
rear/1 front) and two HDMI v1.4 outputs for connecting Blu-ray/DVD players,
Satellite/Cable boxes, Game Consoles, and other video components to your TV. The
front jack is fixed as the Aux input, while the six rear panel jacks are
assignable to any of the other inputs. The dual HDMI outputs can simultaneously
output the same audio/video signal to two TVs (video is output at the resolution
supported by both TVs). The HDMI jacks can accept and switch 480i, 480p, 720p,
1080i, 1080p, and 4K video signals to a HDTV. The HDMI jacks will also support
uncompressed standard or high definition digital video along with the following
audio signals; 2-channel linear PCM, Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1ch), and
Bitstream (Dolby Digital/DTS, etc.). In addition, the HDMI jacks are 3D, ARC,
HDMI-CEC, Deep/x.v.Color, and Auto Lip-Sync compatible.

4K Pass Through: 4K Pass Through allows the Onkyo
TX-NR727 to receive ultra high-definition resolution video and pass the
video signal to a 4K compatible TV or display monitor. This ensures
compatibility with the latest super high resolution video formats. 4K pass
through is supported by the receiver's HDMI 1-4 inputs and both HDMI
outputs.

Deep/x.v.Color Support: The Onkyo receiver supports
Deep Color and x.v.Color content, which can display a larger color range
than standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike, vibrant
picture.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be
sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable
already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the
need for extra cables connected to your television. The receiver's main HDMI
monitor output supports the ARC function, while the sub HDMI monitor output does
not.

Auto Lip-Sync: The Lip-Sync function can automatically
synchronize HDMI audio and video that has gotten out of sync due to the
complex digital video processing being performed by your HDMI-compatible TV.
With HDMI Lip-Sync, the audio delay required to synchronize the audio and
video is calculated and applied automatically by the AV receiver.

Marvel Qdeo Video Chip for 4K Upscaling: The Onkyo TX-NR727
utilizes a Marvel Qdeo Video Chip for 4K upscaling and video processing. The
Marvel Qdeo Video Chip produces quiet and natural video, free from noise and
artifacts. Analog component/composite video signals are converted to HDMI, so
you only need one cable to connect the receiver to your TV. 480i video from the
receiver's component/composite video inputs and any HDMI video signal can be
scaled to a higher resolution set in the menu. You can set the AV receiver
to upscale analog and HDMI video to 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 4K, Auto
(automatically scaled to the highest resolution supported by the display), or
Through (no scaling). Upconversion and upscaling is only supported by the main
HDMI video output.

HDMI Through: When enabling the HDMI Through function,
regardless of whether the AV receiver is "on" or in "standby" both audio and
video streams from an HDMI input will be output to your television, via the
receiver HDMI monitor output. You can select between 3 HDMI Through functions
modes.

Auto: Detects the signal and automatically selects the
input sources.

Source: Selects the input source (BD/DVD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT,
Game, PC, Aux, TV/CD) for which the HDMI Through function in enabled.

Last: The HDMI Through function is activated on the
input source selected at the time of setting the AV receiver to the
"standby" mode.

Front-Panel HDMI (MHL) Port: The front-panel HDMI port is
designed for the connection of select mobile phones and other portable
electronic devices using the new MHL standard. Simply plug your MHL compatible
smartphone into the receiver's front-panel HDMI port using the HDMI cable that
is included with your mobile phone. MHL allows you to display full 1080p video
and still images on your HDTV with up to 7.1 channels of surround sound. Play,
Stop, and other basic operations can be controlled from the AV receiver's remote
control. Your connected smartphone is also recharged upon connection, and no
separate power supply for the device is necessary while connected to the
receiver.

InstaPrevue: InstaPrevue technology provides a live video
thumbnail of the available content on your devices connected to the receiver via
HDMI. As a result, you can preview audio/video streams coming from up to five HDMI
inputs previously assigned to input selectors on your HDMI connected TV. Even
with multiple components connected to receiver through HDMI, you can easily
switch between inputs as their previews are displayed on a single screen on your
television. You can even use the InstaPrevue feature for Picture-in-Picture. You
can specify the number of preview thumbnails, as well as their positioning
on-screen.

Note: If no video signal are present, the thumbnails
will be filled in black. With 3D video signals, the image may not be
properly rendered on the preview thumbnails of InstaPrevue.

Analog Video Inputs: The receiver features
four composite
video inputs and one composite video monitor output. There is a
single component video input and one component video output.

Picture Adjust: Using the Picture Adjust feature, you can
adjust the picture quality and reduce any noise appearing on your TV screen.

A/V Sync Control: Occasionally, you may need to manually
adjust the audio/video signals that are not properly synchronized manually.
Typically when using a progressive scanning DVD player. You can correct this by
delaying the audio; options are 0 (no delay) to 800 milliseconds,
in 10 millisecond steps.

Separate Audio/Video Sources:
You can listen to the audio
of one input source while watching the video of another. This function takes
advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD, Phono, Tuner) is
selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

Multi-Source/Multi-Zone: The TX-NR727 offers three Zones; a
multi-channel audio/video system in your main listening room (Main Zone), a
stereo audio only system in a second room (Zone 2), and another stereo audio
only system in a third room (Zone 3).

Zone 2 (Speaker-/Line-Level Output): Zone 2 allows
playback of a separate analog source in 2-channel stereo in an additional
room of your home. Zone 2 features line-level outputs and speaker outputs.
This way, Zone 2 can be powered by a separate integrated amplifier (keeping
7.2ch playback in your main room) or by the TX-NR727's built-in amplifier
(limiting the main room to 5.2ch). When powering Zone 2 with the receiver's
built-in amplifier, listening modes that require surround back or front
high/wide speakers are unavailable. You cannot power Zone 2 with the
receiver's built-in amplifier, if you are bi-amping your front speakers. The
volume of Zone 2 is controlled from the receiver when using the speaker
outputs and from your add-on integrated amp when using the line-level
outputs.

Zone 3 (Line-Level Output): Zone 3 allows playback of a
separate analog source in 2-channel stereo in a third room of your home.
Zone 3 features line-level outputs only. This way, Zone 3 can be powered by
a separate integrated amplifier (keeping 7.2ch playback in your main room).
The volume of Zone 3 will be controlled by your separate integrated amp's
remote.

Note: *Compatible Sources -Only Tuner, analog, USB,
and Network audio sources can be sent to Zone 2 or Zone 3. You must
currently be listening to a USB device or Network audio source in the Main
Zone to initially select USB or Network as a source in Zone 2 or Zone 3; then you can switch the Main Zone to any source you desire.
To playback Bluetooth audio in Zone 2/3, you must also have Bluetooth
selected as your source in the main zone. *Incompatible
Sources -You cannot select different AM/FM radio stations or
listen to USB and Network content in separate Zones at the same time.
Optical/coaxial digital and HDMI audio sources are not output to Zone 2 or
3. You cannot output any video signal to Zone 2 or 3.

Whole House Mode: The Whole House Mode is useful when you
want to simply add extra background music to your home party. This mode allows
you to enjoy the same stereo music as the main room in separate rooms (Zone
2/3). The Whole House Mode selects the same input source for Zone 2/3 as the
main room. During the Whole House Mode, stereo playback is automatically
selected for all zones. The Main Zone & Zone 2/3 will play at the same volume
level.

Preset Input Names: You can enter a preset name for each
individual input source for easy identification. When selected, the preset name
will be displayed. This feature cannot be used for AM/FM tuner, Network, or USB.

Display Dimmer + Screen Saver: The display brightness has
three settings; Dim, Dimmer, and Normal. If there is no video signal on the
current input source and no operation for a specific time, a screen saver
automatically comes on. You can set the time (3min/5min/10min/off) until the
screen saver activates itself. Once active, the screen saver will go off and the
screen will return to its previous state if the AV receiver is operated in any
way.

Timers: The receiver features a programmable Sleep Timer and
Auto Standby function.

Auto Standby: The AV receiver will automatically go
into Standby mode, if there is no operation for 30 minutes with no
audio/video signal input.

Sleep Timer: From the remote, you can set the unit to automatically
turn off after as much as 90 minutes or as little as 10 minutes; choices are presented in
10 minute increments.

Remote Control

Multi-brand Remote: The receiver comes with an IR remote
control for wireless operation of this receiver and other HDMI-connected sources
(via HDMI CEC). In addition to the receiver, the remote can be programmed to
control popular brands of TVs, Blu-ray players, DVD players/recorders, DVRs,
VCRs, etc.

The AV receiver will enter Standby mode when the power of the TV is
turned to Standby.

You can set on the menu screen of the TV to either output the audio from
the speakers connected to the AV receiver, or from the speakers of the TV.

It is possible to output the audio/video from the antenna or from the
input jack of the TV from the speakers connected to the AV receiver.

Input to the AV receiver can be selected with the remote controller of
the TV.

Operations such as volume adjustment or similar for the AV receiver can
be performed from the remote controller of the TV.

Onkyo Remote App (for Apple iOS & Android):
The Onkyo
Remote App (from
iTunes Apps &
Google Play) allows you to operate the Onkyo AV receiver from your Apple iOS
(4.3+) or Android (2.1+) device, using your home's wireless network. The Onkyo
Remote App lets you access Internet Radio stations, AM/FM stations, DLNA

Verry Nice

Written By Robesp, Bowling Green,MO on Sunday, March 01, 2015

Very good receiver so far. Have never owned an Onkyo product before and so far it has been at least as good as some of the Denons I have owned.

Pros:Plenty of Power
Easy Setup

Cons:Slight popping noise from surround speakers in one of the surround modes. On everything else it is fine, sounds like a common Onkyo problem.

Close but almost perfect.

Great sound quality! It has plenty of power and the auto-eq did a great job with my room. I have this setup in my bedroom with the zone 2 powering speakers in my bathroom. The zone 2 is easy to use. Pretty straight-forward controls.

Pros:Easy setup and operation. Powerful sound with great effects. Easy wifi and Bluetooth pairing and allows pandora to play through the Zone 2.

Cons:Switching inputs and startup time is pretty long in comparison to my older TX-nr808. Sometimes I won't get an image after switching inputs and have to restart the unit. Crutchfield graciously swapped out my first unit when I told them of these problems. I even bought a new Blueray player and Hdmi cable to use with the new unit. I updated the firmware as soon as I got it. It still suffers from the same issues. It really is too bad. Sonically this thing is a beast!

onkyo tx-nr727

The day of waiting was the hardest.But after that thing went up hill,this was my second onkyo and like the first one it was easy to hookup an ready to use.the sound is great,hooking up all my different parts was very easy an they have the little tab to help you remember what goes where.the power is all that i had hope for,movies,games an of course music sound really really really GGoooddd.

Pros:Easy to set up,wide range of sound.I have this for several months now no problem.would tell a close friend to go for it.to be honest i already have.

Onkyo TX-NR727

This receiver does everything it says it does. Easy set-up. All the power we need. The Crutchfield team we dealt with for service and delivery was excellent. We even went better we purchased a sub and center speaker also. All for a small craft room.

Onkyo TX-NR727

This unit has exceeded my expectations. Set up was really easy and the features work flawlessly. I currently have this powering Polk Monitor 70's series II which are very power hungry and this unit hasn't even blinked. I love that I have so many options to listen to music...off a hard drive, bluetooth using my ipod, or connecting on the network to my computers audio files.

Pros:Lots of power
Lots of useful features
Lots of input options

Cons:The only con I have is that the bluetooth connection option doesn't seem to be integrated very well. It works flawlessly but I actually have to walk up to the unit to push the pairing button as opposed to getting to it through an onscreen menu, yes, I am super lazy.

Onkyo TX-NR727

Have only had receiver a couple of weeks, but impressed so far. Still learning to use its many features/abilities; one I have used is the speaker calibration system and it is fantastic. The Crutchfield Rep., did a fantastic job--if the receiver matches the Crutchfield service, I will be extremely happy.

total let down

This unit was easy to setup and sounded good. But the wireless was defective. It wouldn't even pickup any signals even though every other device in my household can easily find over 12. Called Crutchfield sending it back replacing it with a Denon S900W. Hope it works right out of the box.

Rocks!

I've had this unit for a few months now. I just now have managed to get around to fully setting it up. I have Polk speakers all around and a Sony powered Sub. My living room isn't that big. I love the sound! It's right on!! Now, everyone will find some features they use more than others. Here are my favorites. 1. The Iphone app!!! I can turn the unit on while laying in bed (wifi function!). Also select what Pandora station I want!!! ROCKS!!!! The app lets you control just about everything on the unit. 2. I set it up to turn on my TV at the time I turn on the receiver (not sure how I did this!). 2. Bluetooth from my phone! Even when I go to my office in the back of the house....if I switch to say my Bose mini via Bluetooth, it will allow my phone to automatically switch devices! No extra work. Turn on the Bose and the Onkyo will stop and the Bose will pickup the audio! BAM! I spoke personally with a rep from Crutch to select a unit, and my rep was SPOT ON with this recommendation. It was well worth the $$$. I don't mess around with audio.

Pros:Sound and Iphone App.

Cons:I use a USB flash drive also. It's take just a few seconds for it to recognize all the music on it.

Onkyo TX-NR727 review

I purchased this Onkyo for a system in the living room as I had purchased a higher end model several years ago and have been very pleased with it for the mancave. The price and performance of this system can't be beat and it has plenty of punch and a multitude of settings to get the sound you want. The only down side is the fact you have to either view the manual online or print it off. (onkyo needs to change this as it's not being very customer friendly saving a dollar or 2.) The setup of this is easy, the wifi works great and I would recommend this to anyone needing a new unit.

Awesome

Set up was easy, even without a printed manual. I have this set up with Polk audio speakers and a Polk 10" sub. The 727 replaced a Yamaha 7.2 receiver with only 90w/ch and less features such as Bluetooth and Wireless. I noticed the difference right away. The Onkyo provided a greater sound environment with clarity and detail. I'm very pleased I made the switch.

Pros:Great sound and depth, at a very good price even if I didn't buy it on Cyber Monday.

Onkyo TX-NR727

I really like the Onkyo TX-NR727 reciever. Everything is working fine and Crutchfield is a great company to work with. This reciever has a very good overall sound with great balance and a silent background. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Didn't know what I was missing.

Replaced a perfectly fine Onkyo HT-R520 from 2003 only because the sale made it irresistible. I don't know what changed in 12 years, but this new Onkyo TX-NR727 sounds noticeably better on the same Onkyo speakers. Its processor finds details in music previously hidden.

Cons:These are next to insignificant compared to all this receiver does wonderfully but if I have to point out anything:
Remote not backlit like previous lower model.
No Bluetooth button on remote. Bluetooth is selected by switching device BT to connect.

Fine A/V Receiver

Purchased the Onkyo TX-NR727 to replace an older Denon.AVR-789 The Onkyo was easy to set up and calibrate. It is being used in 7.1 mode with Orb Audio speakers, including powered sub woofer. The Audessey MultiEQ sound processing is excellent and the Onkyo automatically selects an appropriate processing mode (which can be over-ridden if desired) Sound is notably cleaner than the Denon. As well the receiver makes it convenient to tweak the tone settings, if desired. The availability of a phono input is a plus. The wi-fi connection, part of the initial set up menu, was near effortless and effective. The subsequent 'thank-you' card from Crutchfield was a nice touch.

Pros:Fine sound. Audessey processing is very good. I would recommend the Onkyo TX-NR727.

Cons:The instruction manual is available in pdf via download or on a supplied disk. The "advanced" section of the manual could be more clear in describing how to access the more detailed menus available.

Almost there

The receiver is solid and the setup was relatively easy. The reason I bought this was for the Internet access to my music and control with my iPhone. Unfortunately that is were the problems are. The receiver drops the connection randomly and the app is flakey and hard to use. You also cannot turn it on with the app. I have to turn it on with my remote and wait for it to get connected and then hopefully the app will find the device. They also need a tablet version of the app.

Onkyo TX-NR727

Excellent... i am very satisfied with this product...very easy to operate. the wifi feature i can not get enough of....my speakers never sounded so good. I am hearing sounds with such clarity, when i listen to music or just watching TV., Movies. The bass response is so profound, I was thinking of getting new sub woofer.....not now!!!!!! I use my Onkyo everyday. I discover new features that help me improve my listening experience, it seems like it is daily, there are so many features.

Pros:easy of set up...... auto speaker calibration great feature.... eliminates the guess work

Cons:I wish they would include a paper manual.It would be helpful to have in hand while experiencing and learning all the features!
The remote does not have a light feature for night time use. I tend to have the room at very low light levels.

Excellent Equipment - Right choice for me.

I ordered this unit for my surround sound / music base - based on recommendations from Rocky at Crutchfield. I could not be happier. I am no young pup (10 decades) old and the set up went very smoothly. It took a little time just getting everything connected but it all worked out perfectly. The set up is quite intuitive and really easy to do even though this unit has a lot of really cool options and features. The sound is excellent and I am very glad I went with this unit. Thank you Rocky.

Pros:Easy set up, a lot of features, great sound.

Cons:Knobs to connect speaker wire are hard to turn if you have big hands. This is the reason I could not be a surgeon.

Onkyo TX-NR727

I bought this receiver about two weeks ago, I hooked it up and the receiver sounded great but it only lasted 2 days. When I went to turn it on, it would turn on for a few seconds that it would turn off. I sent it back to Crutchfield for a repacement but I have not gotten the exchage receiver yet.

Best receiver I've owned so far.

I've had this unit up and running for about two weeks now. The TX-NR727 is a whole lot of receiver for a relatively inexpensive price point. In fact, it's $100 cheaper than the Yamaha RXV871 that it replaced. The sound from this Onkyo is far superior to the Yamaha. I watched "the fifth element" on Blu-ray and the sound quality was breath taking in 7.1 surround sound. The difference was night and day in comparison to my previous receiver! My music CD collection also sounds much better with this receiver. If you are Into audiophile music this receiver will not disappoint. I've listened to high resolution SA CDs and Blu-Ray Pure Audio disks in Stereo and 5.1 surround sound using this receiver and again was blown away by how much better they sound on this unit.i've previously used Sony, Onkyo and Yamaha receivers to power my home theater system and the TX-NR727 is easily the best of the bunch.I highly recommend this receiver to anyone looking to upgrade the quality of the sound in their home theater system. I fully expect to be using this receiver for many years to come.

By the way-I found the receiver to be quite easy to set up, it probably took me about an hour and a half to connect all of my speakers and equipment and have the whole thing up and running. I've read that some people have had problems with the HDMI board and connections, however, I've experienced none of these problems so far.

very good receiver

this 727 are great system hook it up with my bowers 685 and asw 610, men you just cant just believe how this system work',s good sound,detail,,clarity, finess, power its a quality product, buy it and dont miss it very good overall, exellent receiver. good job onkyo, tnx crutchfield.

Cons:Zones two and three can play only analog inputs, not digital. Required duplicating connections to get higher quality digital sound from my CD player and also allow it to be used for entertainment in Zones 2 and 3.
Unit always turned on with Blu Ray input, although I wanted to have the default to be the Cable TV input. Crutchfield Tech Support did not have a solution. Discovered that receiver returns to the device selected for pass through when receiver is turned off. Set to last.

Cons:Any HDMI input component can not be directed to the powered Zone 2. Component selector button names are terribly small and are not back-lit making it impossible to read without excellent eyesight and a flashlight. (Reason for 4-star rating).

Nice with challenges

The usual challenges. Fortunately, this is my second Onkyo in a year (different model) so it was a little easier. But setup can be a challenge.

To its credit, Denon does have good phone support.

The remote control for both my Denon's has to be the worst control I have ever experienced. Not intuitive. Very small buttons.

I was hoping that the application on my phone would work with both Denons. No way. I called support and they confirmed this

I also hate using my receiver as the control center. With my Denon which it replaced, I could just turn on the TV and receiver and move around from DVD, TIVO, and Apple TV without messing with the receiver. Again, support told me I was expecting too much.

I love the internet radio. The one downside is having to reestablish the connection when the internet hiccups.

Pros:Good sound.

Cons:Challenging to set up with no printed manual. Poor remote control.

Onkyo has bad HDMI switching issues

The HDMI board went out within just over 3 months of purchase. I live 4+ hours away from the nearest service center, and Onkyo expected me to pay for packaging and shipping even though it's covered under warranty. This is the second onkyo receiver I purchased and looking back I had similar issues with the first one regarding switching. Do your research with Onkyo and HDMI.

Love this Receiver

This replaces an early Onkyo I but that actually caught fire. This has all the bells and whistles you could want. I was nervous giving up my direct connection to Sirus XM for a connection through the internet, but it's worked out fine with very little issues concerning buffering. And plenty of power. If there's a down side, the all the black on black. It's looks super cool but unless the lights are on in the room you'll have some problem seeing the control switches.

Onkyo TX-NR727

This unit is marvelously engineered! I began as a hifi nut in 1958 with mono Marantz tube equipment and have never been without at least hifi stereo ever since. This 7 channel receiver sets up the speaker balancing all by itself. Its 4 ohm speaker capability lets me use my vintage AR speakers and that was a necessary factor in selecting it. It is a big upgrade from a 12 year old 6 channel receiver that had no HDMI at all, and speaker balancing on that was a ticklish totally manual process. Its FM reception is good but its internet capability makes FM unnecessary.

Lost in translation

Perhaps one of the few AV receivers with a phono port. 0.08 TDH - not too shabby. 110 watts per channel - nice. Excellent subwoofer sound. Ease of setup could be a little easier. Don't understand Zone 1 & 2. What is their function?

Pros:Once the setup process is complete, I am learning to like the system. Seemingly enough RCA input ports. Speaker/room setup works flawlessly with the packaged mic. Love the surround difference between this receiver and the my old JVC. Still learning things about it, eg., the various sound functions (orchestra, etc.) still a mystery. Do they work for all the buttons?

Cons:Setup for other equipment (remote codes) can be challenging and requires some effort and patience. Also, after setting up remote codes for other equipment there is an absence of full remote use which requires use of the OEM remotes for full functionality. Some of the HDMI ports seem sloppy/lose. Perhaps because of streamlining or subtle design look, the micro switches are difficult to see on the base unit. Too bad the NET functions don't show up on the front panel when the TV is off.

Great Receiver

New to this brand; but it looks and is has great sound production. Many feature; some of which I am totally lost to do to my lack of knowledge with todays technology. After a short time; rate it 5 stars.

Brilliant Unit

A month owned and I must say it performs brilliantly! The phone app is a little......blah but not worth taking a star off. Easy connections and pretty straight forward. Overall, very pleased. Only wish I would have got 9.2 or 11.2 channels ;)
